Ingredients
1whole grain baguette
2tbspolive oil
¾lbbrie cheese
24oysters,shucked, rinsed and drained
¼cupbutter,melted
salt and pepper,to taste
1red bell pepper,cut into thin strips
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the baguette into 24 rounds. Brush bread rounds lightly with olive oil. Place bread rounds on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread rounds in the preheated oven just until crisp for 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, slice Brie cheese into 24 equal pieces.
Remove toasted bread from the oven; top each round with a slice of Brie cheese. Return the crostini to the oven to melt the cheese for about 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. In an ovenproof casserole, stir together the oysters, butter, any remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Broil in the preheated oven until the oysters begin to curl at the edges for about 5 minutes.
Remove the oysters; place one oyster on top of each crostini. Top the crostini with red pepper strips; serve warm.
